Our History In 1935, Reinhard Hildebrand, a graduate from a school of engineering in Stuttgart, Germany, built Hildebrand s Camp. It was near the end of what was originally Lake Rd 54-24, later designated 54-59 and now called Swiss Village Road. At the time the community around the junction of Hwy 54 and Route KK was called Damsel. The camp s rustic cottages could be rented for $1.00 per person per day. A café and grocery store (now the home of Michael s Steak Chalet) were on the grounds and boats, bait and tackle were available. Other amusements available to guests were hiking, boating, swimming, fishing, dancing, archery, table tennis, shuffleboard and bowling. Like many of the resorts, he promoted to families. Hildebrand s Resort opened for business in 1936. The camp, built along a natural terrace about 100 feet higher than the Lake, was about 1,000 feet north of the Blue Springs Branch Cove, which is fed by a spring. Hildebrand s offered a delightful fishing area where the fish are attracted by the cool water of the famous Blue Springs of the Ozarks. An added attraction in the late 1930s was the camp s floating swimming pool and fishing dock. Since the resort was perched at some elevation about the Lake shore, a very long flight of steps led straight down to the floating dock. The enclosed swimming area was 20 x 50 feet in size with a gently sloping bottom ranging from 15 inches to five feet deep. Although water skiing did not become a common recreational activity in the lake until the 1950s, it actually began at Hildebrand s in 1937. At that point, water skiing and water skis were in their infancy. The sport originally evolved from snow skiing, which began in Europe around 1900. Water skis as we know them today were experimental until well into the 1930s. Even the term water skiing was generally unheard of when Hildebrand built his resort. He had some early primitive water skis available at the resort for brave guests to try. In 1967, the resort had new owners John and Clara Hohn, who continued the operation in its former style. Hildebrand s resort, survived until the early 1970 s. Over the years, the resort evolved into several restaurants. In 1974, The Wine Garden Restaurant was established and it quickly became famous for its delicious Swiss Village Wine Punch accompanied by beautiful sunsets. In 1994, Brent Boyles and two high school friends purchased The Wine Garden Restaurant and with the help of Sam Andria (famous for Andria s Steak Sauce), created Michael s Steak Chalet. Michael s Steak Chalet is consistently voted the The Best Steak at the Lake and in 2014 Michal s Steak Chalet was voted one of the top 100 restaurants in the county for its beautiful view overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks.
